Is it legal to play a match in professional competition without shoes on?

Hi Justin,

Yes you can although I haven't seen it done for a long time.  I do remember the Papua New Guinea team in the 1970s playing without shoes. They were just more comfortable in bare feet.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
